Guided Practice — Live AI

Practice Lab

17hands-on exercises with real AI responses. Every exercise comes with ready-made prompts you can load in one click — usually a weak one, a better one and an expert one — so you can see the difference in the model's own answers. Edit any of them, run it, and your prompt gets checked against the exercise criteria.

From Vague to Precise

Scenario

A teammate pastes a function into chat and asks you to "explain this code". Same code, same model — the only thing you change is the prompt. Watch how much the answer changes.

Your Task

  1. Run the vague starter prompt first and read what comes back
  2. Add WHO the explanation is for (a junior who knows loops but not recursion)
  3. Add HOW it should be laid out (line by line, then a plain-English summary)
  4. Run again and compare the two answers
